Surrendering for fun?

This is maybe one of the worst games I have EVER had, and it started out incredibly well. My Nami (who is also my close friend of 5 years) who is more or less newer to the game (lvl 50 something but still learning a lot), was performing very well for once. It was nice to see us working together well and we were stomping bot lane 7/0 Sivir style. Things kept going well and eventually at some point one of the people on our team aside from us tried to surrender. Something along the lines of "We crushed them so hard its sad. Let's just give them the win" was said by the Miss Fortune. They all said yes aside from me and Nami. This continued to happen and it got progressively worse as we tried to reason to each other why we accepted or refused to surrender. On OUR end it was refusing to surrender because 1) This was my last game and I personally wanted it to be a win, especially since we were doing so good. 2) I wanted the bonus exp for winning (since i think thats how it works). I wanted to level up so I could buy a new champion or get m7 Ashe. 3) There was NO reason to give them the win. They had their chance to win, and they blew it. We rarely do good when we play together because the Nami makes lots of mistakes that don't BOTHER me, but it just means we don't win very often when we play together. It felt nice to be succeeding for once, and I enjoyed being able to say "good job" rather that "can you do this next time". They continued to try and surrender and even partially went out of their way to stay away from the enemy unless they were at baron or drag. In other words, not hostile until provoked. Their reasoning was simply because it was fun for them and they even told us to our face that they thought it was fun to see us whine and complain (we were a tad toxic but it really couldnt be helped since we were trying to actively persuade them to end, and the comments just kind of got woven in. They took no consideration of me and Nami's feelings and continued to just kind of torture us? Should we have just surrendered and gotten on with it, or were they truly in the wrong?

Just mute them and keep declining the surrender, you don't need to have a conversation about it nor do you need to give reasoning. If you don't want to surrender, don't.

"We crushed them so hard its sad. Let's just give them the win"

I swear this is like LCS in a nutshell....

What is this? Social justice-ing around or something? I don't even know how social justice works, but this kind of mindset looks like from people who will never teach their kids that sometimes you lose.

Being toxic is what you should have avoided, but aside from that, I don't see a valid reason as to why you should have given up and surrendered the game. They were at fault in this situation (pretty much just giving up (negative attitude)).

Yall won. Do you really need the victory screen to prove it? Unless this was a ladder match, there is zero point in even making a thing out of this. I would have ffed for the fuck of it.

If you don't type at all, that would have increased your chance the win. I believe they kept trolling because they felt you wanted to win so badly and started to get tilted and they started to abuse both of you.

It's like having someone who is feeding for fun. He wants to see others triggered and getting mad because of him. If you totally ignore him, he will feel bored and silly and would have to just play.

Yes, these kind of players are ret@rded. There are tons of them so you have to learn to deal with it. I used to lose my mind and type in the past, but I realised thay I only destract myself and anyone else who is trying to play.

I won a ranked game where my team except sup afk'd at 3-4 min in the game. I was jg udyr with bard sup and we tried to see if we could win and we won fights 2v4 cuz one of them kept splitting. our vayne came back 25 min in the game, she farmed and then we won around 30-32 min in. It was something that I can never forget.

Yes, you should have 100% surrendered that game. Why would you waste your time playing with people who don't want to win? It doesn't help you improve at all, unless you are playing an incredibly mechanical champion. If that's the case you should be practicing navigating team fights to learn the limits of the champ.

The players on your team should be banned. Not only is their actions unsportsmanlike but they are against the TOS. And are blatantly trolling you also. Never reward bad behavior.

This happened to me once, my team was failing pretty hard and the enemy team was way more fed than us but out of nowhere THEY FF'd.
